EP2 XOverland Baja Special // Crossing the Border & A Three Day Dive School Challenge

The Expedition Overland team crosses the international border into Baja, Mexico, but not without paperwork issues that change the team’s plans. Plan C is deployed, and the crew members pivot and ‘dive’ into their next underwater adventure where the challenge begins! This overlanding team works hard for a 3 day dive certification but not without some casualties along the way...
The team sets their sights on an epic Baja campsite as they make their way South to explore more of this amazing place! #xoverland #bajaspecial #anywhereispossible

[@LoneStarSwirl]

Awesome stuff in this one. Scuba diving is amazing but very technical. My dad was a navy diver and taught me to scuba when I was a boy. Then took a scuba diving in class which was pretty awesome. Is been nearly 20 years since I have scuba dove. Learning to stay calm and NEVER panic no matter what is huge. This was so cool to watch.

I shipped my FJ twice. First time (no experience) from FL to Panama (Manzanillo port - Colon) on a Ro-Ro ship in 2014. Learned during the process. Second time - from Panama (Manzanillo port - Colon) on a 20ft container back to Miami, FL - late November 2019. The process to get the car out of Panama was the hardest one and expensive. My stress level was the highest ever. And even when we crossed to Canada (Fort Erie), driving, I was still nervous. Though, 16 months of prior research did the job before moving to Canada. Would do it again. P.S: Adding my two cats to the Panama - U.S - Canada trip. They even needed a permit to leave Panama. Still, would do it again.

[@csjmoore]

I was in Bozeman this summer and wanted to drive by your headquarters. I checked your website and saw that you keep that info private (for obvious reasons) and thought I was out of luck. I was there to film a wedding that just so happened to be at a venue that is VERY close to your place. Wild coincidence that I got to drive right by on the way to the wedding. I may or may not have geeked out a bit getting to see your rigs all parked out front. Your content is awesome!

Ryan trying to get out of the water reminded me of trying to be a Travel KZbinr during a global pandemic! Also that skottel bit is so funny! Most South Africans dont use them anymore; funny enough! @Tanner I know that feeling of being the last one awake, making sure all the footage is backed up.. I almost fell asleep in a chair one night on my recent trip. Luckily I went to bed when I did; we had hyena's come through our campsite a hour or two later.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

LOL, so true! Yikes on the hyena's, Shelly had that experience in Botswana and never got out of her tent at night! Love hearing about your adventures, thank you!

[@TheWhitebeardandTKExperience]

Wow, the only person I've (Whitebeard) seen credit the South Africans with the skottel.

[@getoutmoto]

That was fun....

It is in the edit room. We had some other projects take priority but are doing our best to have it out this winter!

[@aggiewoodie]

After years of living in and traveling thru south Texas, I’ve learned a few things about eating Mexican food… 1. Gringo stomachs are just weaker than Latino stomachs; 2. The juicier the taco, the better, but also the more dangerous; 3. While we tend to fear meat the most, for pathogens, it’s the raw veggies/salsa/sauces most likely to get you- they aren’t cooked and, often, aren’t even washed before processing.

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Great tips!

[@maxst2]

Nice few days there. What ever happened with Greenland trip though?!

[@ExpeditionOverland]

[@stevej7139]

As someone who has been scuba certified since 1978 seeing you guys do an online class scares me a little . The problems that can crop up while diving really need a hands on experience to not panic while diving because panic is the thing that is most likely to kill you while diving . I've had a problem at 120 ft deep my regulator lost a seal at the diaphragm and I started getting half water half air but because fortunately I didn't panic , I had my dive buddy and we did a buddy breath assent and it was fine but that is a place any panic will almost certainly end in death . That Montezuma's revenge is bad though when you're not used to that kind of food , I was born and raised in San Diego so getting a sampler platter in Mexico is fine for me but you northern people don't have the stomach for that LOL . Sorry it sucks and I know how bad that can be but it's kind of funny from my perspective because I saw it coming during dinner the night before . I did like the cure , more of the same , this is how life is so get used to it LOL

[@ExpeditionOverland]

Thank you! The online portion of the class are made up of the 'in class' videos they would have you watch. This is how most Padi classes are now. The team all did great and we agree, diving is no joke and you need to be sure to get good training. Us Northern folk for sure have to get our stomach's used to the new diet, totally worth it though!

[@stevej7139]

@@ExpeditionOverland it's funny the difference now with PADI vs NAUI back then . I got certified by PADI about 18 years ago when I put my kids through the class . It's far more family orientated than NAUI was , seriously the NAUI class was more like boot camp compared to PADI being a camp out . 8 of us started the NAUI class and 2 failed , they could not hack it but I will say this , if you passed a NAUI class there is pretty much nothing that can happen you haven't dealt with during class from equipment failure to CPR on the water and even how to deal with sharks among other sea creatures (east coast barracuda yikes). Our dive instructor Pete was a guy that would try everything to trip you up , rip your mask off and toss it before you know he's even there or turn off your tank while your swimming along , and the stories go on , fun guy LOL in the end we were all good friends .
